"PUT THE EDUCATION MAFIA IN JAIL!"

"BLOW UP THE SCHOOLS OF EDUCATION!" (Dr Boaler has provided a somewhat different version of Dr Bishop's command, which she has stated as follows: "NUKE 'EM ALL, DAMMIT!" (caps mine, to go with the general style of such commands from Der Fuehrer or on high. As this part of Dr Boaler's account certainly fits right in with what I've seen of Dr Bishop's operating style, I personally will need to be convinced that Dr Boaler is seriously wrong in the rest of her story).
